Some say, writing is the most annoying bit in academia. For me it's proofreading. 😩

When the train company forces you to go to the university as early as possible, this is what you get, an empty cafe area for yourself 😂

Watching a travel vlog from West China and seeing these Camels not reminded me of Sahara Desert but the catchment dataset Caravan 😂

The value of science communication is still underrated and often misunderstood. In my latest blog, I explore why climate science communication matters, what’s not working, and how we can do better to inspire real change.

She shared the most difficult part of her journey in this video. If you by any chance know someone who's battling with cancer in silence, please share this, Sithumini's story will definitely give him/her some hope to keep fighting. ♥️🌻

It wasn't as easy as it used to be to travel here thanks to Deutsche Bahn, but at the end of the day everything is either a lesson or an experience. #Weekend

In my life, I never needed books to find inspiration. That’s because two incredible women showed me that the only true limitation in life is our mindset. Sithumini is one of them, and now, she’s finally decided to share her story with the world🌻♥️

Maybe it's the gloomy sky that motivates me to write.. Next blog post is coming soon 🤓

In fact, the TV show I've been watching lately motivated me to write, even though I've wanted to write about Climate Change and Agriculture for quite some time.

Writing Retreat weekend came to an end successfully (almost) and gave myself a little treat by wandering around the streets of Berlin and quick look at one of my all time favorite vehicles 🤓

PS: today I also found my favorite Döner Shop in Berlin 🥙 it's called Döner Plus

Why do landing pages for global datasets include everything except a big, clear "Download" button 🤌

We're almost at the end of #EGU25, but it's not over yet! If you're curious about how different global hydrological models agree (or disagree) with each other, we have some preliminary results to share from our study.
Make sure to add it to your schedule, it only takes 5 minutes of your time.

In my latest blog post I share my opinion on why it's important to keep the environmental models as simple as possible. This is a personal view on the topic based on some of the articles read in the past few weeks. #EnvironmentalModels
